Writing about women in mathematics

Alice Silverberg has been reporting stories of sexism in mathematics on her website: https://www.math.uci.edu/~asilverb/Adventures.html

One of her stories was published in the San Francisco Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/article/Not-full-flush-success-but-urinals-in-women-s-2499838.php

She also has been quoted repeatedly on sexism in mathematics: https://www.math.uci.edu/~asilverb/interviews.html

I feel that this writing about sexism would be noteworthy to add to her page. Is there any opposition? Marcrr (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any sources for this in material about Silverberg, published by other people? Her own writings don't make a good source for the fact that she is doing this. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:52, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
